Yes and no. It depends on which time period you are asking about, and which part of Greece. But is it safe to say there was never just one monarch or royal family who ruled the entire Greek empire. Ancient Greece was generally comprised of a collection of city-states (each one was called a "polis"). These Greek city-states had a variety of different governments. A few did have a royal family with a king and a queen, but others were ruled by a dictator, or an oligarchy (a privileged few wealthy and influential families), and at least one city-state, Athens, was a democracy, where citizens voted for their political leaders. In Greek religion, there was a king (Zeus) and a Queen (Hera), but in real life, a hereditary monarchy was the exception rather than the rule. Only a few city-states ever had a king or queen-- for example, the city-state of Sparta had two kings, neither of whom had absolute power, and both of whom had to work with a citizen-assembly.
